D/D/D Deck #769154 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 53/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Pendulum/Xyz/Synchro/Fusion/Link extra-deck engine
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 59 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck D/D/D kings (Kali Yuga 3500 ATK, Arc Crisis 4000 ATK, Deus Machinex 3000 ATK) reached through the Pendulum and Dark Contract engine (Inferred from card text); Direct damage from Dark Contract effects and Dark Contract with Patent License (verified card text, Inferred as a closing route)
• Turn 1 (going first): Pendulum Summon from Kepler, Surveyor, Copernicus, Galilei or Gryphon, bridge with Lamia, Swirl Slime or Necro Slime, then Dark Contract searches toward an Extra Deck King (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird and Effect Veiler, followed by Raigeki, Baneshade or Ultimate Slayer, and an engine rebuild from the Graveyard (Inferred)
• Recovery: Graveyard recursion through D/D Recruits, D/D/D Human Resources, D/D Lilith, Necro Slime and Swirl Slime, plus Dark Contract searches (Inferred from card text)
• After siding: None: the deck runs 0 side cards in a format normally played best-of-3, so there is no recorded post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a connected Pendulum and Extra Deck system, not as an average of its card scores. The 16-copy D/D core gives an 81% chance of at least one archetype piece in the opening five (Inferred, hypergeometric), and five 3-copy and four 2-copy starters give several entry points. Interaction is layered across three hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Effect Veiler) and Raigeki, Baneshade and Ultimate Slayer. The ceiling comes from the Extra Deck kings (3000 to 4000 ATK, Inferred from card text), but no recorded boards exist, so the floor and median are unmeasured and held near neutral. The deck has no side deck, a singleton-heavy main with 36 single-copy cards, and 13 of 23 archetype-core cards absent; the archetype's popularity earned no points.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 58, Going First ≈ 61, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional): 0.80*57.9 + 0.20*44.6 = 55.2, then context modifiers -2 gives 53

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.81 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ — (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Core archetype engine has 16 copies and about 81% opening-hand access (Inferred)
• Five 3-copy and four 2-copy starters give redundant entry points
• Layered interaction: three hand traps plus Raigeki, Baneshade and Ultimate Slayer
• Extra Deck ceiling of 3000 to 4000 ATK kings with broad Extra coverage (Verified stats, Inferred role)

Weaknesses

• No side deck in a best-of-3 format, so no post-side adaptation
• 36 singleton main cards and 13 of 23 archetype-core cards absent, reducing consistency
• Several single-copy Extra Deck kings that each need specific materials
• Self-damage Dark Contract effects add an LP cost

Critical choke points

• Pendulum scale pairing needs low-scale cards: Copernicus x2, Galilei and Gryphon (4 copies total), so a Pendulum line can stall without them (Inferred)
• Single-copy Limited cards (Droll & Lock Bird, Foolish Burial, One for One) are key interaction or access pieces
• Extra Deck King summons depend on specific Graveyard and banished material (Inferred)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 59, Extra 15, Side 0 are within the OCG size rules; All Limited and Semi-Limited copies are within legal limits (Droll & Lock Bird 1/1, Foolish Burial 1/1, One for One 1/1, Ash Blossom 1/2); Copy histogram 36 singletons, 4 two-copy and 5 three-copy cards; Extra Deck breakdown Link 3, Synchro 3, XYZ 5, Fusion 4; 13 of 23 archetype core cards absent (usage statistics)
• Inferred: Core access P(>=1 in opening 5) ≈ 0.81 and 3-copy starter ≈ 0.24; Interaction density supports a layered answer package; Extra Deck ceiling from card stats and text; Brick and consistency estimates from card roles
• Provisional: Meta and format fit (D13) with no dated metagame sample or tournament link
• Data gaps: No combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates) Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample Dark Contract with the Swamp King appears under two card_ids (10833828 and 73360025); the legality check counts per card_id, so the name total is 2, still within the limit
